In-house training offers

As the complexity of school information management changes and the functionality of GO 4 Schools is updated to reflect national school performance data,
we want to ensure that you and your staff have access to the most relevant and timely data for your school,
as well as the tools and skills to track and analyse this information effectively.
We have therefore developed a series of in-house training sessions aimed at Data Managers and those who have the main responsibility for managing the day to day information and set up of GO 4 Schools.
Our Data Manager training sessions are designed specifically to support and develop key staff in the management and implementation of GO 4 Schools:

Induction training is for those who are new in post and need an introduction to the management settings and analysis tools in GO 4 Schools.

Refresher training is for those who have some experience of using GO 4 Schools but would like an update on new functionality and educational updates to ensure they are maximising their use of school data.

All courses will be delivered at the GO 4 Schools office in Histon, Cambridge.

Regional training offers

To ensure all school have access to the training programs available we are also offering a range of our In-house training events regionally. These are hosted by our Hub Schools or other schools that are centrally located within a regional cluster of GO 4 Schools customers. The training courses follow the same content and structure as our in-house training courses and are delivered by the Educational Services team.
